She is 4-2-1 overall in 650 minutes.

The No. 5 Cavaliers are 5-2-1 this season following a 0-0 draw with No. 25 NC State on Friday night. Taylor Ziemer leads UVA with six points. She has two goals and two assists through the first eight matches. Taryn Torres is the only other Cavalier with multiple goals this season while seven others have each tallied a goal. Laurel Ivory has played all 755 minutes in goal for Virginia with a 0.71 goals against average and four shutouts. She's made 14 saves and allowed six for a 5-2-1 record.

Sunday marks just the second time the two will meet in program history. In the first meeting UVA defeated ECU 4-0 on August 27, 2004.
